Chapter 501

Having made a decision, He Yuzhu took the evidence and entered Yi Zhonghai's home.

Seeing He Yuzhu come in, Yi Zhonghai and Yi Da Ma warmly received him.

If he didn't know they had concealed his family's money, speaking frankly, He Yuzhu would be very moved.

For someone lacking paternal and maternal love, such warmth is hard to withstand.

He Yuzhu strained to keep a straight face, turned, and shut the door.

Then he threw the evidence at Yi Zhonghai—it was a calculation sheet recording how much Yi Zhonghai had swindled from him.

Elder Yi, no need to be so enthusiastic; let's first settle the accounts before we talk.

Saying this, He Yuzhu kept a cold expression, pulled over a stool, and sat down with gusto.

Yi Zhonghai saw the numbers on the paper He Yuzhu threw over, and his face instantly turned pale.

"This, this, Zhuzi, I……"

He still wanted to explain, but He Yuzhu would not listen to his excuses.

"Yi Zhonghai, frankly speaking, I already knew about this; if it weren't for Jia Ling and Yi Xiaoxiao's sake, I would have long gone to the authorities to have you dealt with."

"You're truly black-hearted, even taking Yu Shui's upkeep expenses—you're not even human."

"I wish I could hack you to death."

Yi Da Ma swayed a bit, her face turned ashen, then she clutched her chest and began breathing rapidly.

The two girls saw this, hurried over, and patted Yi Da Ma's back and rubbed her chest.

"Mom, Mom……"

He Yuzhu had been prepared; he immediately grabbed the heart-saving pill and gave it to Yi Da Ma.

Yi Da Ma soon recovered her strength, while Elder Yi remained dazed over there.

Yi Da Ma's breathing smoothed, she comforted the two girls, glanced at Yi Zhonghai, then looked at He Yuzhu.

"Zhuzi, thank you; it's we who owe you an apology."

"Say what you want to do; we'll agree to anything."

"I've long been prepared for this day."

"Because of this matter, my heart has felt like a stone weighing on me, keeping me awake all night."

"You've finally come over."

He Yuzhu didn't expect Yi Da Ma to say that; he felt embarrassed to ask for a lion's share, but this money belongs to Yu Shui, so he doesn't have the final say.

"Yi Da Ma, we won't ask for more either."

"Return one, compensate three—then this matter will be considered settled."

"Otherwise we can only resort to official channels."

Although Yi Da Ma felt sorry for the money, she knew it had to be given.

But before she could speak, Yi Zhonghai spoke.

Seeing He Yuzhu so easy to talk to, his panic faded considerably, and his scheming nature came out.

"Zhuzi, I know I was wrong; I'm sorry to you all, I was bewitched."

As he said this, he slapped himself.

Finally he said.

"I know this money should be paid, but look at Yi Da Ma's health……"

Before he could finish, Yi Da Ma shouted.

"Shut your mouth."

"Even now you're still scheming; do you think present-day He Yuzhu is the same as before? You truly won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

She stood up, immediately ran to Yi Zhonghai's little coffer, and in a few moves emptied it.

Counting it, it wasn't enough, so she dug out another of Yi Zhonghai's small coffers, still not enough.

Then she went to her own hiding place, took out a roll of money, counted it, and this time it was sufficient.

Yi Zhonghai trembled from Yi Da Ma's shout, then fell silent.

He wasn't stupid; he understood Yi Da Ma's meaning.

Seeing Yi Da Ma neatly ransack his own coffer, his heart clenched.

He Yuzhu also didn't expect Yi Da Ma to be so clean and efficient.

He still had many threatening words left unsaid.

How did it just end like that?

He still had many curses aimed at Yi Zhonghai hidden in his heart, but now they were useless.

This left He Yuzhu feeling uncomfortable.

Yi Da Ma handed the money to He Yuzhu, still apologizing.

"Sorry, Zhuzi; it's we who owe you an apology."

"If you can forgive us, we don't know what good deeds we did in a past life to deserve such grievance from you, yet still be forgiven."

He Yuzhu took the money, but his heart wasn't as happy as he had imagined.

Instead, he felt a complicated, hard-to-define meaning.

He put the money away, looked at Yi Zhonghai, and said.

"This matter isn't over; Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng also know about it, and they have evidence too."

"They've been waiting for me to act, to gun you down, to relieve their hatred."

"If you can't gain their forgiveness, if they kick up a fuss, you won't fare any better."

"All right, our affair is finished; the rest is up to you."

"If you can't resolve this matter, at most I'll give you a letter of understanding."

Yi Zhonghai stared with wide eyes; I paid six thousand, and that's all you give me.

"Zhuzi……"

He still wanted to say something, but He Yuzhu didn't give him a chance.

"You used me to make others cut off their descendants; you should have thought of this sooner."

"My karmic retribution has already come, and I've become someone who can't bear children."

"Your retribution has only just arrived."

"To be honest, Yi Zhonghai, I also wish I could kill you."

"You should thank Yi Da Ma more; if she hadn't adopted Jia Ling and Yi Xiaoxiao, you would have been shot."

After saying that, He Yuzhu got up and left.

Yi Da Ma also ignored the old sir; she made her bed, she must lie in it.

It's just a shame about the money.

She still has over ten thousand in her hand, not knowing how much Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng will demand.

But being able to keep her person, job, and pension is already not bad.

Yi Zhonghai, dazed and dispirited, having schemed his whole life, ended up with neither person nor wealth.

But the two daughters are truly his own.

Tragic, lamentable, ridiculous.

Yi Da Ma then said.

"Go find Xu Damao; you should be glad his life is still fairly harmonious."

"He might still forgive you; otherwise, there would be no room for maneuver at all."

Yi Zhonghai also knows that by now he has no way out.

He did a round of household chores, then walked toward the back courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai had just entered Xu Damao's gate when Xu Damao's brows furrowed.

He's an enemy; it would be strange if he gave you a pleasant face.

Who would have thought, Yi Zhonghai plopped down on his knees.

"Xu Damao, I've come to apologize."

Saying that, he slapped his own face.

The sound was loud.

Li Fengxia was startled by the sudden situation, then went to help Yi Zhonghai.

"Old sir, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Xu Damao grabbed Li Fengxia in one pull, his eyes unfriendly as he said.

"Don't bother with him, let him kneel."

Seeing that slapping his ears didn't work, Yi Zhonghai knocked his head three times, his forehead bleeding.

Li Fengxia couldn't bear it and advised.

"Xu Damao, what grudge warrants this?"

"Just let the old sir get up."

Xu Damao already knew why Yi Zhonghai had come.

Such a fuss could only be about not being able to have children.

It must have been He Yuzhu who acted; otherwise Yi Zhonghai wouldn't be behaving like this.

"Yi Zhonghai, drop your act."

"Do you think a few kowtows can make up for the harm you've caused me?"

"You ruined my whole life; you think you can get off easy? Impossible."

Li Fengxia thought of something, turned around, pulled her child, and went into the inner room.
